WIFI Plant Monitoring System

The goal of this project was to monitor a plant with multiple sensors to see how a plant would react in different environments. I first researched what sensors would make the most sense to track the impacting environmental factors on plants. I finally decided to track visible light, infrared index, ultraviolet index, air humidity, temperature and soil moisture.

Material Used:

    - Wemos D1 WiFi UNO
    - Power supply
    - DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor
    - SparkFun soil moisture sensor
    - Grove sunlight sensor (UV light, visible light and infrared light)
    - Flexible coolant tube

I then wired each sensor according to their wiring diagram to the Wemos D1 WiFi UNO. Once the wiring was complete, I started working on the code. I wanted to be able to track the data collected over time and I also wanted to have the option to save it to further analyze it. To do so, I decided to use the ThingSpeak API which offers a platform to send collected data and then visualize it online.
